Joseph's Vision

"I want to see the Labour Party not only transformed internally but rather taking in its stride the leading role to transform the country’s agenda into a more progressive one. I want to see the Labour Party at the forefront of proposing and advocating the environmental reforms and social changes that are overdue under this conservative rule."

MLP Leadership Contest - Is Dom Mintoff worth it?

So, George Abela wheeled out Dom Mintoff to support him at his latest public meeting.

So, here's a guy who was Prime Minister nearly 25 years ago and who's 91 years old, and who far a large chunk of the electorate brings back nothing but bad memories still sticking his oar in.

Talk about looking to the future!

I've no doubt there's still a constituency that looks to Mintoff but I can't believe that a party who's main problem is attracting younger voters and broadening its support could possibly look to such a divisive figure. George Abela's just made a big mistake!
